South Korea’s Overseas Construction Volume Soars to Billion
Maeil Business Newspaper & mk.co.kr:09/02/2007
South Korean construction companies have scored $20 billion in overseas
orders for the first time in history on August 29. They are now playing an
integral part in the construction industry worldwide from the Middle East, the
Mecca for Korea’s overseas construction companies, to Africa and Central Asia.
“Oil money”, which has sustained the regional economic power, is the
forte that drives Korean constructors to advance into those foreign countries.
As much as $14.5 billion, 69 percent of the $21 billion posted by
domestic construction companies engaged in overseas projects until August this
year, was earned in the Middle East. Central Asia including Kazakhstan and
Africa, both of which are new emerging markets for Korean construction
companies, are also showing rapid economic growth based on their abundant
resources such as oil and natural gas.
The other catalyst in the domestic construction companies’ rapid
advancement into the overseas markets is the companies’ unparalleled
competitiveness in plant construction which yields a higher profit margin than
other construction projects. During this year, Korean construction companies
have actually dominated the global plant construction market. They successively
inked large-scale plant construction projects worth over $1.5 billion per
project including GS Construction’s oil refinery plant construction in Egypt
($1.8 billion); Doosan Heavy Industries’ Jebel Ali water plant construction in
UAE ($1.7 billion); and Hyundai Heavy Industries’ Umm Shaif gas plant in UAE
($1.6 billion).
However, overshadowed by domestic constructors’ such brilliant business
achievements overseas, chronic troubles of the domestic construction industry
are repeated without any sign of improvement.
According to the Korean Embassy in UAE, the number of Korean companies
that advanced into Dubai has totaled over 100, 70 percent of which are
construction companies. It means that almost all domestic construction
companies are looking for a business opportunity in Dubai, while fewer than 20
companies among them are actually making business now.
In addition, unstable market conditions in foreign countries are deemed
to be another risk factor for domestic constructors engaged in overseas projects.

Korea in push to build 12 new reactors in China
JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:07/27/2007
Korea will push to help local companies participate in the construction
of new commercial nuclear reactors in China, the government said yesterday.
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy said domestic companies,
including Doosan Heavy Industries Co., could supply components to the 12
reactors that will be built in China.
Contractors for the building of the reactors are to be picked by the end
of the year.
The planned reactors are to be the 1-million-kilowatt type, with Korean
companies capable of exporting related parts worth $3.6 billion to $4.8
billion.
“Vice Energy Minister Lee Jae-hoon, who will be in China on Thursday and
Friday, will aggressively pitch for a greater role by Korean companies in the
building of the proposed reactors,” said a ministry spokesman yesterday.
Lee plans to meet Wang Banghua, chairman of the State Nuclear Power
Technology Corporation that is responsible for the atomic reactor building
plan.
Korea, which started operating its first atomic reactor in 1977,
currently provides 40 percent of the country’s energy needs from 19 reactors.
It can also design and build indigenous reactors and is seeking foreign
buyers.
China, Indonesia, Vietnam and South Africa are among the countries to
which Seoul wants to sell its nuclear reactors.
Doosan signed a letter of intent in April with U.S.-based Westinghouse
Electric Co.
to supply parts for the construction of two reactors, four steam supply
systems and other supporting equipment for the building of nuclear power plants
in China.
The ministry said the vice minister will also be present for the signing
of a memorandum of understanding aimed at the takeover of a large coal mine
operation in Shanxi Province.
Seoul has been aggressively moving to buy and develop overseas oil, gas
fields and coal mines to reduce the country’s dependence on foreign energy
resources.
Korea buys 97 percent of its energy needs from abroad. Yonhap

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction
Acquires Mitsui Babcock Energy
Maeil Business Newspaper: 2006-11-06
Bo-yung Kim / CJB
* Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Acquires Mitsui Babcock
Energy. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. has acquired the
total share volume of Mitsui Babcock Energy Ltd., the world's leading suppliers
of clean coal power plant technology, worth approximately 160 billion won,
according to a report on Monday.
From the acquisition, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction has
procured technology to compete with B&W, Foster-Wheeler and Alstom, the
international firms from the U.S., Europe and China in the coal-fired steam
development business market.
The acquisition of Mitsui Babcock Energy is hoped to help the Korean conglomerate
to procure about one trillion won in business in next three years.
Until now, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction had implemented
its boiler business with Alstom.
Mitsui Babcock Energy possesses the "world's best boiler combustion
technology," according to Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction.
There are about 30 branches of Mitsui Babcock Energy, worldwide, with
4,700 employees.
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction
had been privatized at the end of 2000 and had a financial turnaround in 2004,
triggering it to expand global business via aggressive investment and the
procurement of sources of technology and international manufacturing branches.
Newspaper: Korea Times
Subject: Doosan Heavy to Bid for
Westinghouse
Date: 22-Aug-2005
South Korean power-generation equipment maker Doosan Heavy Industries
& Construction Co. said Monday it will bid for Westinghouse Electric Co., a
U.S.-based unit of British Nuclear Fuels Plc.
``Doosan Heavy has presented a letter of intent for the purchase of Westinghouse
before it will take part in preliminary bidding in the middle of next month,''
a company official said.
The preferred bidder is to be chosen by the end of this year, he said.
Doosan, U.S. General Electric Co., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.,
Japan's largest heavy machinery manufacturer, and other prospective buyers are
to attend the auction, the official added.
As Doosan Heavy has kept up close cooperation with Westinghouse since
the 1970s, which led to the building of Korean-style nuclear power reactors,
there is a high possibility of Doosan buying the company, according to
analysts.
South Korea's first nuclear reactor, Gori No. 1, was built by
Westinghouse, which had an operating profit of $130 million on sales of $1.6
billion last year.
Westinghouse made equipment for the world's first nuclear power plant in
1957. Its technology is the basis for nearly half of the world's operating
commercial nuclear power plants, according to the company's Web site. In
addition to building new plants, the company supplies fuel for reactors.
``If Doosan succeeds in the takeover of Westinghouse, we can build
atomic generators with our own technology without paying royalties any more,'' a
Doosan official said on condition of anonymity. Doosan has built 20 domestic
nuclear reactors.
2nd Hearing Over Microsoft Due Tuesday
SEOUL (Yonhap) _ South Korea's antitrust regulatory body will hold a
second hearing Tuesday on allegations Microsoft Corp. has violated the nation's
fair trade laws and exploited its dominant market position to the detriment of
smaller competitors, an official said Monday.
``The general session will open at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow with our chief,
Kang Chul-kyu, chairing,'' said Park Sang-yong, a spokesman of the Fair Trade
Commission.
On July 13, the FTC held the first meeting of its nine-member
deliberation committee to make a verdict on Microsoft's antitrust complaints
here, but delayed its ruling, giving the U.S. software giant more time to
prepare its defense in the country's landmark case.
Last month's meeting came nearly four years after Daum Communications
Corp., South Korea's second most-visited Internet portal, filed a complaint
with the FTC, accusing Microsoft of bundling its instant messaging software
with a version of the dominant Windows operating system.
Microsoft, which has been called a "monopolistic predator" by
its opponents, also stands accused by another U.S. software company,
RealNetworks Inc., of incorporating its Media Player audiovisual software and
Media Server programs into the Windows operating system. RealNetworks lodged a
complaint with the FTC last November.
The FTC spokesman refused to say whether any settlement or breakthrough
was made with Microsoft since the delay at the first hearing.
``All I can tell you is that the second hearing will begin tomorrow as
scheduled, but a decision is highly unlikely to come that soon,'' Park said.

Subject: Aide to Former Doosan
Chairman to Be Summoned
Date: 27-Jul-2005
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office will summon this week an
aide to former Doosan Group chairman Park Yong-oh for questioning on slush fund
allegations.
The prosecutors’ office Tuesday launched an investigation into possible
accounting fraud by top executives of Doosan Group, the nation’s 10th biggest
family-controlled conglomerate, divulged amid a fraternal power struggle
between Park Yong-oh and his brothers.
The prosecution imposed an overseas travel ban on five people suspected
of participating in the slush fund scandal _ a former chief executive of a
company closely connected to the Doosan Group and four Doosan officials.
However, the prosecution did not ban incoming Doosan Group chairman Park
Yong-sung and Doosan Corp. vice chairman Park Yong-maan from traveling
overseas.
On July 21, Park Yong-oh accused his younger brothers and nephews,
including Yong-sung and Yong-maan, of having secretly and systematically
embezzled corporate funds to amass 170 billion won in slush funds.
Park made these accusations public due to his brothers’ refusal to a
request to split Doosan Industrial Development from the conglomerate and hand
it over to him.
The prosecution plans to arraign Park Yong-oh’s aide, identified by the
last name Sohn, for questioning by Friday at the latest. The prosecution is
also expected to summon Park Yong-oh soon.
``We will complete examination of the written complaints filed by Park
Yong-oh as soon as possible and will summon Park’s aide sometime this week,’’
chief public prosecutor Son Ki-ho said.
``But we cannot comment on where the focus of the investigation will be
because we haven’t finished reviewing the complaint,’’ Son said.
The investigation into Doosan Group’s slush fund scandal is expected to
pick up speed next week when the prosecution completes its examination of the
credibility of accusations made by Park Yong-oh.
The probe, which prompted a freeze on business plans at Doosan, will
begin by checking the accusations made by former chairman Park Yong-oh, the
prosecution said.
A Doosan Group spokesman said he has not heard from the prosecution yet
regarding the questioning of Doosan executives.
In the complaint filed with the prosecution, Park Yong-oh alleged that
Park Yong-sung secretly hoarded up to 45 billion won in slush funds by
embezzling profits from a draft beer bar chain.
He added that Yong-sung also pocketed 20 billion won in slush funds
through a building management firm and committed corporate accounting fraud.
The former Doosan chairman also alleged that Doosan Group vice chairman
Park Yong-maan accumulated slush funds amounting to 20 billion won by
embezzling profits from Doosan Industrial Development’s construction orders
over the past five years.
He also asserted that Yong-sung’s son Jin-won, who is serving as an
executive director at Doosan Infracore, diverted 80 billion won in corporate
funds to overseas via a biotech venture firm Nutra Park located in Wisconsin.
The 109-year-old Doosan Group dismissed Park Yong-oh’s claims as ``total
nonsense.’’ Park serves as the chairman of the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit 2005.
Due to the recent slush fund scandal, Doosan Group postponed the planned
proclamation of its new business philosophy for the next century, dubbed the
``Doosan Way,’’ which originally slated for Aug. 1, to next year.
The family dispute has also hurt the conglomerate's management-labor
relations, which have been cooperative since Doosan Heavy Industries and
Construction reached its first peaceful wage negotiations in the union's
17-year history last November.

Subject: Will Doosan Succeed in
Handing Down Co-Management Traditio
Date: 25-Jul-2005
With Doosan Group still mired in a family feud, the industry is focused
on the nation’s 10th biggest conglomerate’s ability in handing down its
co-management tradition to a fourth-generation of executives.
The third-generation of the Doosan Group founder is represented by the
honorary chairman Park Yong-gon, 73, and that generation was once touted as a
model of family ownership, where brothers harmoniously co-managed the group.
Until last Wednesday, this third-generation of Doosan executives
appeared as if they abided by those ``co-ownership’’ and ``co-management’’
principles established by the late group founder Park Seung-jik and his
successor and deceased co-founder Park Doo-byung, the second-generation owner.
However, last Thursday, former Doosan Group chairman Park Yong-oh, 68,
who was disgracefully dethroned by his brothers after lodging a complaint with
the prosecution regarding the appointment of Park Yong-sung as Doosan Group’s
new boss, while alleging that his brothers were hoarding 170 billion won in slush
funds.
Doosan’s process of passing down the family business to a
fourth-generation of executives has already begun, but it remains to be seen
whether the third-generation of owners can succeed in upholding the Doosan
Group intact as a single entity.
When the fourth-generation of executives will raise their collective
voice for their share of the company to which they believe they have rights,
the disintegration of the Doosan Group could pick up speed. A power struggle
will likely be more intense among the 15 grandchildren of Doo-byung than that
among his six sons and one daughter.
New Doosan Group chairman Park Yong-sung, 64, dismisses rumors of a
breakup of the company.
The squabble between Park Yong-oh and his brothers began late last year
with the elder Park’s fear that his sons were losing their grip on the
conglomerate, whereas his second-youngest brother Yong-maan and children of
Yong-gon and Yong-sung are increasing their influence inside the group.
Fourth-generation of Parks are serving at key posts in Doosan companies.
Park Yong-gon’s eldest son Jeong-won, 43, has been promoted as the vice
chairman of DIDECO last week. The honorary chairman’s second son Ji-won, 40, is
serving as an executive vice president of Doosan Heavy Industries &
Construction (DHIC). His daughter Hye-won, 42, is an executive director of
Doosan Corp.’s magazine business unit.
Park Tae-won, 36, son of Park Yong-hyun, 61, Seoul National University medical
school professor and fourth son of Doo-byung, is serving as an executive
director of Neoplux, venture capital subsidiary of the Doosan Group.
Yong-hyun’s two other sons, Hyeong-won, 35, and In-won, 32, are serving as
managers at Doosan Corp.
Park Yong-sung’s eldest son Jin-won, 37, is serving as an executive
director at Doosan Infracore, and second son Seok-won, 34, is a manager of
DHIC.
After Thursday’s family fight, the Doosan Group axed Park Yong-oh’s
second son Joong-won, 37, who has been serving as an executive director of
DIDECO.
Park Yong-oh’s eldest son Kyoung-won, 41, resigned from the executive’s
position at Doosan Industrial Development (DIDECO) and disposed of all his
shareholding to take over Chun Shin Electronics, a company that specialize in
projector and CCTV manufacturing, back in 2000.
However, Chun Shin Electronics continued to suffer financial
difficulties and Park Yong-oh gradually sold off his stakes in Doosan companies
to support Kyoung-won.
As a result, Park Yong-oh’s stake in Doosan Corp., the de facto holding
company of the chaebol, plunged to 1.8 percent last year from 3.95 percent in
1998, whereas Park Yong-sung’s share stood at 2.88 percent, down from 4.25
percent, and Doosan Corp. vice chairman Park Yong-maan’s share rose to 3.72
percent from 0.46 percent.
Park Yong-oh holds a measly 0.7 percent stake in DIDECO. DIDECO is the
ninth biggest construction and engineering firm in Korea.
Park Yong-oh and his son Kyoung-won surreptitiously attempted to take
over DIDECO, which held 22.9 percent stake in Doosan Corp., late last year but
Yong-gon and Yong-sung spotted his hostile merger and acquisition attempt early
this year.
To debilitate Park Yong-oh’s takeover attempt, the Doosan Group ordered
DIDECO to sell 2.8 million shares in Doosan Corp., out of total 5.5 million
shares it owned, to Doosan Engine, Doosan Infracore and the fourth-generation
executives through off-board transactions on July 15.
DIDECO’s stake in Doosan Corp. dropped to 12.8 percent. As DIDECO held a
lion’s share in Doosan Corp., acquiring DIDECO means taking over the control of
the entire Doosan Group.
Eleven children of the third-generation of executives, save for Park
Yong-oh, bought a combined 800,000 common stock shares in Doosan Corp. In the
transaction, Park Jeong-won purchased 134,720 shares, Ji-won 89,840 shares and
Hye-won 40,880 shares.
After failure of his takeover attempt, Park Yong-oh asked his brothers
to separate DIDECO and hand it over to him, citing that he and his children deserve
such a fortune given his contribution to fostering Doosan Group into Korea’s
10th largest family-run conglomerate, but the offer was rejected.
The split up of the Doosan Group is unlikely at least for now as the
Park family drove out Yong-oh and his children from the conglomerate and
isolated them from other family members to prevent repetition of such attempt.
However, many believe it will not be long before another ``Yong-oh’’
emerges within the family.
The latest ``rebellion’’ by Park Yong-oh shows the limit of the unique
corporate governance structure of Korean family-run conglomerates, where
managers act with impunity despite their actual ownership of less than 10
percent of the firms.
The Park family holds a combined 5.2 percent stake in the Doosan Group.
The average shareholding of Korea’s top 38 family-controlled conglomerates
stands at 4.94 percent.
Regardless of whether the Park family succeeds in maintaining
co-ownership and co-management, experts say they should abandon the belief they
can do what they like with Doosan Group, because they simply have managerial
control of the firm’s 19 subsidiaries.
Economists point out that only when the Park family realizes that
shareholders possess Doosan companies, not the family, per se, the sooner they
will be able to harmoniously manage the conglomerate and truly become a
multinational business group.

Brother in Doosan Ownership Feud
Date: 22-Jul-2005
The Doosan Group has decided to drive out chairman Park Yong-oh.
Doosan Industrial Development (DIDECO) and Doosan Corp. Friday convened
emergency board of directors meetings, respectively, and endorsed motions to
push Park from the chief executives’ posts.
DIDECO board reached a consensus to vote on the motion at an
extraordinary shareholders’ meeting slated for Sept. 7. The board also agreed
to appoint Park Jeong-won, 43, son of Park Yong-gon, honorary chairman of the
Doosan Group, as vice chairman of Doosan Industrial Development.
Park, 68, the second eldest of the third-generation executives, was
originally assigned to be the honorary chairman of the Doosan Group. He served
as the CEO of both DIDECO and Doosan Corp., the de facto holding firm of the
109-year old conglomerate.
``I will cooperate with prosecution’s investigation in an open and
aboveboard manner, and the National Tax Service and the Financial Supervisory
Service already have initiated probes into some speculations raised by ex-chairman,’’
said Park Yong-sung at a press meeting on Friday.
Park added that the Doosan Group axed Yong-oh’s second son Park
Joong-won, who has been serving as an executive director of DIDECO.
The decision to dethrone Park, follows the filing of a complaint by the
outgoing chairman with the prosecution against his younger brother Park
Yong-sung’s takeover of the helm of the Doosan Group, a move that sparked an
ugly power struggle among Park brothers.
The Doosan Group last Monday announced that Park Yong-oh willingly
decided to transfer the reins to Park Yong-sung, 64, chairman of Doosan Heavy
Industries & Construction, and the conglomerate was touted as a model case
of family management, where brothers harmoniously manage the group.
Park Yong-sung is set to assume the chairmanship from Aug. 1, with the
process of succession to be completed by year’s end.
Industry observers and local media lauded the strong bond of affection
among Park brothers.
The prosecution Friday said it would launch an extensive probe into the
complaint filed by Park Yong-oh, who alleged that he was browbeaten to give up
his chairmanship by his brothers, including the new chairman-elect Park
Yong-sung.
On Thursday, Park Yong-oh asserted that other Park family executives
sought to expel him from the Doosan Group management under a fear that he would
divulge their financial irregularities of having secretly and systematically
amassing a total of 170 billion won in slush funds.
Doosan Group honorary chairman and the eldest of the living
third-generation executives Park Yong-gon, 73, on the same day convened an
emergency meeting of Doosan Group subsidiary CEOs at the conglomerate’s
headquarters in downtown Seoul and decided to expel Yong-oh from the business group.
The honorary chairman said Yong-oh, disgruntled at his brothers who
declined his offer to break up the conglomerate, framed up his siblings by
forging a fictitious story for his own greed.
``Ex-chairman Park’s behavior is a treacherous act against both the
family and the entire Doosan Group. He is no longer a member of either Doosan
Group or our family and he will be expelled,’’ Park Yong-gon said Thursday.
``We will take legal measures against ex-chairman Park’s dissemination
of false rumors,’’ Park added.
The Doosan Group said that Park Yong-oh defied Yong-gon’s offer to step
down from the chairman’s post as he already serves in the position for 10 years
and made counteroffer to give DIDECO to him and his children.
However, the Park family turned down Park Yong-oh’s request as he
retains a measly 0.7 percent stake in DIDECO and as such demand runs counter to
the ``joint ownership, joint management’’ principle set up by late Doosan Group
founder Park Seung-jik and his successor and deceased co-founder Park
Doo-byung.
In fact, as Doosan Corp., DIDECO and Doosan Heavy Industries and
Construction are tied to a complicated Web of cross shareholding and
investment, separating DIDECO into an individual entity would shake up the
entire corporate governance structure of the Doosan Group.
The succession struggle had been brewing since late last year.
Park Yong-oh’s eldest son Kyoung-won, 41, resigned from the executive’s
position at DIDECO and disposed of all his shareholding to take over Chun Shin Electronics,
a company that specialize in projector and CCTV manufacturing, back in 2000.
However, he continued to suffer financial difficulties and Park Yong-oh
gradually sold off his stakes in Doosan companies to support Kyoung-won, but
they failed to reap enough earnings compared to the sum they injected.
Kyoung-won and his aides clandestinely attempted to take over DIDECO,
and Park Yong-gon and Yong-sung spotted such merger and acquisition attempt early
this year. Park Yong-oh and his children reportedly feared losing their
foothold in Doosan Group whereas children of Yong-gon and Yong-sung have
already a solid grip in Doosan companies.
Park Yong-oh seeks to reverse the chairmanship succession decision by
the Doosan Group but such an attempt appears rather reckless as he now has only
1.8 percent share in Doosan Corp. and 0.7 percent in DIDECO.
Slush Fund Probe
As the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office decided to scrutinize the
slush fund scandal, the Doosan Group is expected to confront the biggest
management difficulty after the one in 1991 involving the dumping of massive
quantity of phenol, a toxic waste, in the Naktong River, by Doosan
Electro-Materials.
The family feud not only tarnished the corporate image of the Doosan
Group that seeks to grow into a top-tier multinational corporation but also
would deal a direct blow to the corporate management.
The succession row also tainted the image of Park Yong-sung, who
concurrently serves as the chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce
(ICC) and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI). He is also a
member of the International Olympic Committee.
``The family fight is forecast to make quite a dent in Doosan’s image.
Doosan companies will focus on fulfilling greater social responsibilities and
improving revenue and profits to avoid the power struggle from aggravating
corporate management,’’ said a Doosan Group official on condition of anonymity.
In the complaint filed with the prosecution, Park Yong-oh alleged that
the Park Yong-sung secretly hoarded up to 45 billion won in slush funds by
embezzling profits from a draft beer bar chain.
He added that Yong-sung also pocketed 20 billion won slush funds through
a building management firm and committed corporate accounting fraud.
The former Doosan chairman also alleged that Doosan Group vice chairman
Park Yong-maan also accumulated slush funds amounting to 20 billion won by
embezzling profits from DIDECO’s construction orders over the past five years.
He also asserted that Yong-sung’s son Jin-won, who is serving as an
executive director at Doosan Infracore, also diverted 80 billion won of
corporate funds to overseas for private use.
Doosan Group dismissed Park Yong-oh’s claims as ``total nonsense.’’ Park
serves as the chairman of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO
Summit 2005.
The Doosan Group, which started off as a tiny store in 1896, currently
has 19 subsidiaries under its wing and its combined assets are estimated at 12
trillion won. Its assets increased when it acquired Daewoo Heavy Industries
& Machinery, which was renamed Doosan Infracore, last April.

Subject: Doosan Heavy to Export
Facilities to Libya
Date: 28-Jun-2005
Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction, the world’s No.1 desalination
plant manufacturer, has completed the construction of an evaporator for
desalination facilities in Libya that will supply fresh water to an industrial
and residential belt in the African country.
The company won the order for the fresh water plant last May from
Libya’s General Electricity Company.
Located on a coastal area some 100 kilometers east of Tripoli, Libya’s
capital, the plant is expected to play a key role in resolving the water
shortage faced by the area, the company said.
It is the first time for a South Korean company to export desalination
facilities to an African country, the firm said.
The evaporator is a key element of the desalination plant and can
produce 2,500 tons of desalinized water at full daily capacity.
Doosan used a ``multieffect distillation (MED)’’ method in manufacturing
the facility, which produces fresh water by condensing vapor. The method, which
is used for small- and mid-sized evaporators, is one of the most popular ways
to produce water in Africa.
``We expect orders worth over $5 billion to be placed by African
countries for the MED facilities by 2010,’’ the company said in a release.
``The MED method costs less than other methods and is more efficient.’’
Doosan is one of the most active players in the African desalination
market. It set up a branch office in Tripoli last year to brace for the
emerging market.
In February, the firm won a $6.5 million order in Zawia, Libya, to build
a desalination plant that is capable of producing 550,000 gallons of water a
day. Doosan plans to complete construction of the Zawia plant by next April.
Doosan vice president Lee Yun-young said it has the most advanced
technologies in the field of desalination plant manufacturing.
It developed the world’s largest 3,650-ton, 104-meter-long evaporator
for a desalinization plant in Sabiya, Kuwait, last month.

World's Largest Evaporator for Desal
Date: 10-May-2005
Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction has developed the world's
largest 3,650-ton evaporator for a desalinization plant it is building in
Sabiya, Kuwait.
The firm will export the evaporator, which is 104 meters long, 26.5
meters wide and 9.5 meters high, to Kuwait by June.
It will construct three more evaporators for the Sabiya plant, which is
due to be completed January 2007.
Doosan won the $370 million contract from Kuwait's Ministry of Energy in
May last year.
The firm's vice president Lee Yun-young said the plant, located about
100 kilometers north of Kuwait City, will produce 227,000 tons of fresh water a
day, which is enough for 600,000 people.
The world's No.1 desalinization plant manufacturer expects record orders
from Middle East countries this year.
It won a $6.5 million order to build a desalinization plant in Libya in
February and a $28 million contract to improve water facilities in Kuwait.
Last year, it secured orders worth $1.15 billion for large desalinization
equipment from the Middle East.
Doosan officials said many Middle Eastern countries, such as Qatar and
Oman, are focusing on building desalinization facilities with profits from a
surge in international oil prices.
``We expect the desalinization market in the Middle East to grow to 30
trillion won by 2010,'' a Doosan official said.

Million Order

Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction has won a $270 million order
from Qatar to build the country’s largest desalinization plant, Doosan
officials said Wednesday.
The world’s No. 1 desalinization plant manufacturer will construct the
plant by May 2008 to provide 270,000 tons of fresh water a day.
Qatar placed the order in preparation for the 2006 Asian Games in Doha,
its capital. The plant can provide water for about 700,000 people at the same
time, the firm said.
Doosan expects record orders from Middle East countries this year. It
won a $6.5 million order to build a desalinization plant in Libya in February
and a $28 million contract to improve water facilities in Kuwait.
Last year, it secured $1.15 billion in orders for large desalinization
equipment.
``We predict that the Middle Eastern market will grow to 30 trillion won by 2010,’’ Doosan said in a statement. ``Middle Eastern countries are focusing on building desalinization facilities with profits from a surge in international oil prices. Qatar and Oman are emerging as key markets for us.’’

Subject: Doosan Gets OK to Buy
Daewoo Heavy
Date: 17-Mar-2005
Doosan Heavy Industries yesterday received an approval from the government to take over Daewoo Heavy Industries & Machinery.
``We concluded the merger deal does not violate the government's shareholding limit restriction,’’ said Lee Byung-ju, a senior official of the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s anti-trust regulator.
He added the FTC also concluded that the merger of the two
companies is unlikely to restrict market competition.
Doosan Heavy signed a contract with the Korea Asset Management Corp. to buy Daewoo Heavy for about 1.89 trillion won in January last year.
The deal, however, faced an unexpected obstacle last December as the Democratic Labor Party requested the FTC to investigate into whether the corporate merger goes against the regulation. The regulation bans conglomerates with more than 5 trillion won in assets from investing more than 25 percent of their net assets in other companies.
Three subsidiaries in which Doosan Heavy made equity investment, including Doosan Mecatec and HSD Engine, are under the regulation and so are banned from making equity investments in affiliates or unrelated companies.
The investment limit will be raised to 6 trillion won from April.
The FTC has allowed two heavy industry companies to merge as they are qualified to be freed from the rule.
It is permissible if firms seeking a merger are in the same business category.
Based on the market share of each company involved, the FTC concluded the subsidiaries of Doosan and Daewoo Heavy are in the same business field _ machinery and equipment manufacturing.
Besides the regulatory huddle, a couple of issues, including labor conflicts, are being left for the merger.
Unionized workers at Daewoo Heavy have been demanding job security from the company's new owner, Doosan Heavy.
The creditors of Daewoo Heavy and Doosan Heavy continue to argue over the takeover price.
Doosan allegedly cut the deal price by 250 billion won to 1.65 trillion from the original 1.89 trillion won, as the company found additional debt during a due diligence.
Industry watchers say, however, Doosan will not blow the deal as the agreement is critical to it achieving the goal of 100 trillion won in sales by 2030.
To reach this goal, Doosan will exert best efforts for the merger and acquisition deals while depending on internal growth.
If Doosan Heavy successfully buys Daewoo Heavy, the size of Doosan Group is expected to expand to the nation’s 12th-largest conglomerate with about 12 trillion won in assets.
In 2004, the Doosan Group posted 2.4 trillion won in sales, a 6.2 percent rise from 2003.
